How the BBC frames illegal occupation depending on who the occupier is:
When 🇷🇺 does it: it’s home seizure and a occupation.
When 🇮🇱 does it: it’s framed as settler optimism and political strategy

Israeli 'justification' that "vehicles were approaching suspiciously without headlights or emergency signals" has been proven to be a lie.
But the headlines are still passive.
None of these headlines are directly stating that Israel shot and killed the ambulance crew.

When reporting on the the very conservative Health Ministry figure of 50,000 Palestinians killed by Israel (past 18 months):
- "people killed" who? Israelis too?
- Who killed them?
- "conflict"
- "war with Hamas"
- "people killed" who? Israelis too?
- Who killed them?
- "conflict"
- "war with Hamas"

Well, here's on of his earlier tweets, where he peddles Israel propaganda that Hossam Shabat, the journalist Israel assassinated, was a Hamas sniper.
This is despite @rsf.org conducting an investigation and concluding that the evidence provided by Israel to suggest that Hossam...cont.

Political skew is meaningless when it comes to how the genocide has been covered.

Framing these protests as “anti-Hamas” based on slogans from a minority whitewashes the past 17 months, rewrites history, and absolves Israel of blame.
It manufactures the reaction: “See? Even they think it’s Hamas’ fault.” This paves the way for Israel’s next phase of genocide: ethnic cleansing.

🧵 Let’s talk about the Beit Lahia protests. Western media’s attempt to label them “anti-Hamas” is deeply misleading - and here’s why:
The majority of placards and chants are demanding an end to the genocide. Palestinians are pleading for basic rights, food, water, and the right to live.
